On June 8, 2010, while on a book tour for his bestselling memoir, Hitch-22 , Christopher Hitchens was stricken in his New York hotel room with excruciating pain in his chest and thorax. As he would later write in the first of a series of award-winning columns for Vanity Fair, he suddenly found himself being deported "from the country of the well across the stark frontier that marks off the land of malady." Over the next eighteen months, until his death in Houston on December 15, 2011, he wrote constantly and brilliantly on politics and culture, astonishing readers with his capacity for superior work even in extremis.
Throughout the course of his ordeal battling esophageal cancer, Hitchens adamantly and bravely refused the solace of religion, preferring to confront death with both eyes open. In this riveting account of his affliction, Hitchens poignantly describes the torments of illness, discusses its taboos, and explores how disease transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us. By turns personal and philosophical, Hitchens embraces the full panoply of human emotions as cancer invades his body and compels him to grapple with the enigma of death.
MORTALITY is the exemplary story of one man's refusal to cower in the face of the unknown, as well as a searching look at the human predicament. Crisp and vivid, veined throughout with penetrating intelligence, Hitchens's testament is a courageous and lucid work of literature, an affirmation of the dignity and worth of man.

评分毕业论文的翻译材料,三天看了两遍。一个人边死边写书当真是太引人入胜,难怪印了三本都被开题的老师拿走了……@我的开题老师是极品……
P6 伊丽莎白·库伯勒-罗斯(Elisabeth kübler-Ross)提出临终阶段论:否认-愤怒-讨价还价-抑郁-接受 P9 你肯定听到过这句话:人们不是得了癌症,他们只是据说在跟癌症斗争。没有哪位祝福者会漏掉那个战斗的形象:你能战胜它。这甚至出现在斗癌失败者的讣告里,仿佛你可以理性...
评分当编辑朋友寄来一堆新书,我仅凭标题,先抽出了这本《人之将死》。我对死亡充满了兴趣,对与死亡有关的事也充满了兴趣。战争、谋杀、遗言和墓地,这一切都令我着迷。在我看来,死亡最能迫使人们显露出真实的本性,去回答那些基本的人生哲学问题。 濒死体验像一次奇异旅...

评分编辑心水 按照谢林的说法,构成哲学的,应该是一个整体,也就是说,不是像宗教哲学、艺术哲学……乃至健康哲学、金钱哲学这样零零碎碎、各自为政的;即便是实行某一种分类法,涉及的也只是一个“幂次”的问题。原来是一块大饼,掰一块下来,虽然小了点儿,也还是那块饼,...
